In the so-called "drops" alone, without refer ence to the "sets," there are more than 10.000 yards of canvas, and many ad ditional thousands of yards found their way into scenery that 's on frames. Seven hundred yards of black velvet impart the blackness of the tunnel scene. The costumes, too. run into large figures, but it is In the "property" de partment that "The Whip" eclipses other melodramas. A prop Is any- used on the stage that is either Chief of "clearers" and "clearers" 37 1 moved, "handled or "perishable," and that Is not part of the scenery or an actor's wardrobe. The "props" used in this play number 4388, and range from English money, revolvers and bottles of wine to loco motives and a practical railroad equip ment that carries men, women and norses through a railroad wreck. The so-called "perishable properties" re quired for every performance include a quart of "brandy" (cold tea), cigars and cigarettes, which are essential to the banquet scene. The other edibles and soft drinks are disposed of by tne bad boy In the play, who nnds great pleasure In thfs part of the "stage busi ness." Loaf sugar and carrots also figure in the .weekly expense bill, but merely as minor items, being used to keep the horses in good humor before the race scene. The pack of hounds re quire petting, too. to the tune of 35 dog biscuits every performance. At the evening performance the cur tain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock, and at 2:16 o'clock for the matinees. K. L. Huckbody and Miss Doris Haner were united in marriage by rlev. w. J. Kantner.

Inaugurating System of Outdoor Recreation in City and Country. SALEM. Or., Oct. 17. (Special.) The prominence of the playground and recreation movement is the notable feature of the Fall institutes being held in all parts of the state un der the direction of State Superinten dent of Public Instruction Churchill. Included in this movement, as outlined In the special bulletin prepared this year by the department of education, is the exploitation of the folksong and the folkdance as a part of the public school system. To establish this holesome outdoor recreation side of education Superintendent Churchill obtained the co-operation of a National authority in this field who is spending1 the Fall In Oregon inaugurating the new era for city and rural schools. Miss Mari Ruef Hofer. who is assist ing State Superintendent Churchill in arousing permanent interest in the recreation: movement. is a pioneer worker in Chicago and New York. She has traveled in Europe from Sweden to the Balkan countries, making origi nal research for materials to illustrate her lectures ,on folksongs and folk dunces and plays and games for chil dren. 'Our country is old enough and our school system Is ready to take up this movement in a commonsense and prac tical way, stripped of the vagaries that always attach to novelties in any field," says Miss Hofer. "Many of the ex treme attitudes and the exaggerated forms .of expression in dancing are de moralizing rather than helpful to childhood. To merely move along popular lines of entertainment Is not fulfilling the destiny of the recreation movement. Much careful sifting is necessary. In order to realize the good sought to be derived for children we must not allow the playground movement to degenerate Into a fad or adopt methods that are too expensive for the rural schools. "The system has been modeled too much after the needs of the large and congested cities, with their limited possibilities of space and abnormal en vironments. They are not adapted, to the freer life of the country, with its etrpat open spaces and all-year-around outdoor climate, such as you have on this wonderful Pacific Coast, which- is on great playground. The types of corrective expedients worked out in the name ot the playground movement for crowded populations, often forced to utilise garbage dumps and cinder heaps for that purpose, should not be graitea upon the freer and unspoiled cniionood of the West. "The educational leaders in Oregon have done well to start the outdoor recreation work in the saner direction. It is vital to thi needs of growing life in the Pacific Coast States, and must be worked out on Inexpensive lines tc be within the reach of rural schools. The subject cannot be treated merely , a pleasant and profitable cult, but Tne wnoie system must be made avail able in your perennial open-air climate lor its potential educational value. Playground and recreation work can not be made possible for the rural school if we insist that school authori ties shall purchase elaborate and ex pensive equipment, which ha the in jurious effect of destroying initiative and developing a spirit of selfish en loyment on the part of the child. "Most of the equipment can be made by the larger boys and girls with a little assistance from the janitor or a local mechanic, and having a part in . Its construction the children will not proceed to destroy the apparatus as they are sometimes tempted to do where it is furnished all ready-made. "We owe it as a moral duty to change the destitute and desolute appearance and surroundings . ol our country - - V i 'v... x'i - 1 jiJ i I Mln Marl Ruef Jlofer. t ............... 4 that mar the natural "beauty and es thetic sense. "Childhood has from time immemo rial provided itself with games, plays and playgrounds, songs and dances. All education needs to do Is to make avail able the masses of material that the whole world supplies, and release the inherent activities of boys and girls; give them the. chance to play under proper direction. All that we have of value in the form of games has been produced by the children themselves, and the need of the times Is to restore the opportunity for initiative and spon taneity to the child. Our National game of baseball was originated by the American child in the one, two, three-old-cat and then into townball with its four bases. To meet the demands of a universal system of education, we mutv have games, plays, songs and dances for the masses of children, not merely for the experts, more joy for the common run." Discussing the dance problem In connection with the public -schools. Miss Hofer said it was the most serious question before educators and reformers. "Treated educationally, the terms folklore, folksong and folkdance are interlocked and so Involved that they cannot be weTl separated. They grow out of the industrial life of the people, the outcome of festivals founded upon industry. The folkdances are occa sions for the expressions of joy rather than dissipation and in nowise related to the sensuous dances of ancient or modern times. These in our day too often come from the slums and the popular types of recreation dance found in the vaudeville and pleasure houses must give way to the Innocent forms of the folkdance, which provide mirth and Joy for old and young, and then the American people will be schools by simple and inexpensive ex- I turned away from the degrading down pedlents. Rustic vice-covered shelters wardsweep of the demoralizing public should hide the unsightly outhouses I dance." 1)1 r re tt-Rosa. Miss Maude E.
